Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests!  This week’s game is going to be Ninja Gaiden.  Here are the rules:
 
  • Play until you reach your last life (life 0).  Once you get to "life 0," you must stop playing and take a picture of your score.
  • Farming for extra lives is not allowed.
  • Farming for energy is not allowed.
  • You can only get each hidden extra life in the game once.  If you die in an area with a hidden extra life, you can't collect it twice.
  • If you beat the game and have extra lives remaining, add 1,000 points for each extra life you have left.
  • Highest score wins
  • GENRE: Action/Platformer
 
The contest ends Sunday, 3/29/15 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun

I bow down to anyone that can actually 1cc this game. It's absolutely brutal. I grew up with this game and enjoy it a lot, but I don't think I'll be much of a competitor this week.

I could definitely 1CC this game if I had enough time to play. But it's all talk because I've never actually done it...

Since point racking is allowed,no deathing the game will not get you first place. (I'd never heard of 1ccing until you said it....1 cubic centermetering?)

The last time I beat this game was back when it was shiny and new. My 35 year old reflexes may not be up to the task anymore.

1cc stands for one credit clear.  It's arcade gamer terminology, real big in the shmup scene.  In other words, beating the game w/o continuing.

I haven't played Ninja Gaiden since the last time it came up during the weekly contests back in 2013. Even worse, my practice run earlier showed it.

It may turn out like SummerSlam 1995 where Barry Horowitz pulls off another upset unless I can knock the rust off.

I just picked up this game last week from Arnpoly, so I know I'll suck but I should probably submit a score anyway to show you how a newb player can do at it.

Then you called your mother and felt better?

I forgot how annoying 6-2 can be. Being reminded awfully quick. Also,what's the ruling on farming for energy as I know there are a few spots where you can leave the screen,come back and the energy will be back again for the taking.

Gutsman told me that if you can actually 1cc this game... he's willing to give you a Texas chili bowl.

Farming for energy will not be allowed since it can create point racking loops.  I've made an addition to the rules to make energy farming forbidden.
